What's the last appliance you replaced? bought a new fridge from Sears seven years ago, as small as small appliances go, bought a new Mr. Coffee last week, the old one died a noble death.

Has an appliance failed in an interesting way or time or just stopped or stopped soon after the warranty ended? no, just stopped!

Have you waited for a repairman who didn't show up or was late? Just once, it was for furnace repair, I wasn't upset about it, that day was a blzzard and half!

If you get tires for a vehicle, do you buy the replacement warranty or have you had a covered tire replaced? I buy from Sam's Club and the warranty is always covered with the purchase of tires.

no

What's the last appliance you replaced?

probably the toaster but that was several years ago. All new appliances in our new home.

Has an appliance failed in an interesting way or time or just stopped or stopped soon after the warranty ended?

Interesting? Not really. Had a hot water heater fail. Had a dryer heating coil go out. Nothing spectacular.

Have you waited for a repairman who didn't show up or was late?

Aren't they all late? Yes.

If you get tires for a vehicle, do you buy the replacement warranty or have you had a covered tire replaced?

Hubby is a stickler for tire warranties. Yes, I've had one replaced via warranty.

oranges, bananas and strawberries.

Of course. You're not supposed to put food in a cold oven.


There you have it. Enjoy your Thursday.

Hello!

Have you ever cleaned the coils on a refrigerator? No

What's the last appliance you replaced? Dishwasher

Has an appliance failed in an interesting way or time or just stopped or stopped soon after the warranty ended? Our 25+ year old fridge just stopped. When we went to replace it we asked if we can have one that would last as long.....................The sales person laughed and said refrigerators now have a life of about 10 years, maybe less.

Today's Question(s):
Have you ever cleaned the coils on a refrigerator? Yes, my last one only gave out a few years ago and it was nearly twenty five years old, lots of coil cleaning in that time!

What's the last appliance you replaced? The aforementioned fridge.

Has an appliance failed in an interesting way or time or just stopped or stopped soon after the warranty ended? I replaced a stove that had somehow melted or shorted the cord, the repair guy said I was lucky the house didn't burn.

Have you waited for a repairman who didn't show up or was late? I haven't been given an appointment time in decades, just told they'll come out on such and such a day in the morning or the afternoon. Learned to just take the whole day off because it's always a crapshoot as to how long it'll take for the job to get done.

If you get tires for a vehicle, do you buy the replacement warranty or have you had a covered tire replaced? I don't typically do a warranty, they seem designed to expire the day before whatever product goes out.


Foodie Question(s):
Which fruits have the nicest fragrance? Cantaloupe and strawberries

Do you pre-heat the oven before use or no? I do


There you have it. Enjoy your Thursday.

Today's Question(s):

No

What's the last appliance you replaced? vacuum cleaner

Has an appliance failed in an interesting way or time or just stopped or stopped soon after the warranty ended? Uhhh, I sucked a sock that I had on top of the clothes dryer into the lint hole that was open because I forgot to clean it before I started the dryer. Pushed it in more when I put the lint screen back in.

Have you waited for a repairman who didn't show up or was late? Not that I recall.

If you get tires for a vehicle, do you buy the replacement warranty or have you had a covered tire replaced? You're talking car talk and I never learned that language. I just buy new tires when the servce guy at the car dealership says I need them.

Foodie Question(s):
Which fruits have the nicest fragrance?
pears. I have pear and melon liquid soap but the pear scent stands out.

Do you pre-heat the oven before use or no? Only if instructions on the item says to do it.

Today's Question(s):
Have you ever cleaned the coils on a refrigerator?

Every year.

What's the last appliance you replaced?

Replaced, nothing. But got a cordless vacuum cleaner and an air fryer from my son.

Has an appliance failed in an interesting way or time or just stopped or stopped soon after the warranty ended?

Not that I remember.

Have you waited for a repairman who didn't show up or was late?

Nothing was repaired for many years.

If you get tires for a vehicle, do you buy the replacement warranty or have you had a covered tire replaced?

When I buy a new car, l order high quality tires that last a long time, way beyond any warranty.


Foodie Question(s):

Which fruits have the nicest fragrance?

Nowadays fruit has no fragrance, because it's stored in warehouses for a long time.
I like the smell of organic strawberries, when they are in season.


Do you pre-heat the oven before use or no?

Depends what l am going to bake.

There you have it. Enjoy your Thursday.

Wishing you the same, bjh!

Today's Question(s):
Have you ever cleaned the coils on a refrigerator? About a year ago, yes.

What's the last appliance you replaced? Refrigerator 3 years ago, after tomorrow will be the water heater.

Has an appliance failed in an interesting way or time or just stopped or stopped soon after the warranty ended? A few appliances have. On a side note, car batteries are notorious for failing right after the warranty period.

Have you waited for a repairman who didn't show up or was late? Most are right on the time they say or some give you a 3-4 hour window to wait on.

If you get tires for a vehicle, do you buy the replacement warranty or have you had a covered tire replaced? Yes and yes.


Foodie Question(s):
Which fruits have the nicest fragrance? I like Elnina's answer, I can't smell any fruit anymore.

Do you pre-heat the oven before use or no? If the instructions say so.

Good Morning

Today's Question(s):
Have you ever cleaned the coils on a refrigerator?

What's the last appliance you replaced? Refrigerator. Stove is next.

Has an appliance failed in an interesting way or time or just stopped or stopped soon after the warranty ended? Had the oven fail the day before Thanksgiving. Thankfully we could buy a new element and problem solved. Refrigerator failed once--luckily it was Winter and food could stay outside until it was repaired.

Have you waited for a repairman who didn't show up or was late?

If you get tires for a vehicle, do you buy the replacement warranty or have you had a covered tire replaced? Covered tire replacement is usually included.


Foodie Question(s):
Which fruits have the nicest fragrance? Strawberries

Do you pre-heat the oven before use or no? YES! Once it gets to correct temperature I let it preheat for about ten minutes. Reading an article in Cooks Illustrated changed the way I preheat.


There you have it. Enjoy your Thursday.

Enjoy your Thursday!
